Recreating Holly's Signature Makeup Look
Holly Hagan’s makeup is always on point, striking the perfect balance between glamour and natural beauty. Here’s how you can achieve her flawless look.
The Foundation of Flawless Skin
Every great makeup application starts with a perfect base.
- Primer: To ensure your makeup lasts all day, a gripping primer is essential. The e.l.f. Power Grip Primer creates a tacky base for foundation to adhere to. For added skincare benefits, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide helps to smooth and brighten the skin.
- Foundation: For that camera-ready, airbrushed finish, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation offers full coverage with a comfortable matte finish.
- Concealer: Brighten your under-eyes and hide blemishes with a high-performance concealer. The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is beloved for its luminous finish and buildable coverage. For a matte, soft-focus effect, the Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer is another excellent choice that blends effortlessly.
- Powder: Set everything in place with a lightweight powder. The Hourglass® Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder blurs imperfections without caking. Alternatively, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder provides a micro-fine veil to lock in your look.
Adding Dimension with Colour
A pop of colour on the cheeks and lips brings the entire look to life.
- Blush: Cream and liquid blushes create a natural, skin-like flush. The rhode Pocket Blush is perfect for a dewy glow on the go. For a vibrant, lasting stain, the viral Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint is a must-try. Other fantastic options include the hydrating Pixi On-the-Glow Blush, the radiant NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush, and the silky Hourglass® Unreal Liquid Blush.
- Lashes: No look is complete without dramatic lashes. The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara delivers impressive length and volume.
The Perfect Pout: Lips by Holly
Holly often sports a perfectly defined and hydrated lip.
- Lip Care: Healthy lips start with great care. The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask EX – Berry works overnight to deeply moisturize. During the day, the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm provides instant hydration and a subtle sheen. The Pixi +Hydra Lip Treat is another excellent choice for daily conditioning.
- Lip Oils: For a high-shine, non-sticky finish, lip oils are the answer. The Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil nourishes with a golden tint, while the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil provides a wash of beautiful color. For a fuller look, the YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss is perfect.
- Shape and Tint: Define your lips with the rhode Peptide Lip Shape liner before applying a nourishing color like the rhode Peptide Lip Tint.
Skincare: The Secret to Radiance
Great skin is the ultimate beauty accessory. A consistent skincare routine is key to achieving a healthy glow like Holly's.
- Serums: Target your skin concerns with powerful serums. Hydrate and plump with La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum. Brighten your complexion with the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum. For acne-prone skin, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Acne Serum works to clarify and refine.
